when ever i go to bali, i crave babi guling! the best suckling pig in the world! i use to go to a place near sanur and actually watch them kill the pig before roasting it, but this time, Kimura-san took me to another place. we never had to see the killing here.

if i see lots of local people in a restaurant, that’s a good sign. so i was stoked to finally be able to eat pig!

bali’s not the cleanest place in the world, but clean enough. just close your eyes when you order. haha.

and if you can’t speak indonesian, just point.

omg, this plate for only $3. i love it!

Kimura-san and Atsuko-san living simply. thank you guys for the wonderful time we had! see you again soon!

my mouth is watering again.

downloaded some photos. here is a perfect left hander at Medewi. my first time surfing there and definitely not my last. riding a Mike Woo special.

every wave i go on, i’m yelling to Kimura-san to drop in on me. i don’t mind riding behind him. sometimes he goes, and sometimes he freaks out. this time, he freaked out. haha. looks like he just saw a ghost. haha.

Chinatown, Honolulu.
Good morning 6:30am.
North shore 3-4’ and bumpy.
Ala Moana flat-knee high and clean.
Diamond Head waist high and windy.
Strong trade winds at 30mph.
Sun, showers, clouds, and rainbows.
Going surfing.
Have a wonderful day!

i feel winter coming! getting so cool all of a sudden. no more sweat anymore! yeah!

had an awesome time this morning with Shigeki-san and Aya-san. it was raining, but the waves were perfect for us.

Shigeki-san caught some nice long rides. feeling the stoke!

and Aya-san feeling the happiness.

gosh, i love to see expressions like this. rain or shine, it’s all good!

and i really missed hawaii these past 8 days. glad to be home in the warm water.

and watching people surf into diamond head. so beautiful.

then went to warm ourselves up with some hot pho. thank you Shigeki-san and Aya-san for the wonderful time! keep on surfing!
